Hello,
I am curious as to why *pfind* (or equivalent finder application) symbolic link isn't placed on the desktop in the original .iso.

The first thing I do when I set up a Puppy is to make a desktop symlink to *pfind*.

Newbies to Puppy and Linux in general are usually lost in finding stuff because most newbies are M$OS refugees. A sense of security that they can find something in the new environment is a good thing.

The first time I looked at a Puppy desktop (it was 4.2.1-k2.6.25.16) I was delighted to see so many familiar programs laid out so conveniently. Then I looked for a way to find files and had to dig and fiddle around to locate a *find* application. This was discouraging.

My suggestion is to have a *finder* application listed on the desktop along with all the other links to things like *write*, *paint*, *connect*, *browse* ... and, make the icon big enough to see! That little bity spy glass doesn't cut it.

Thank you for listening.Last edited by Sky Aisling on Wed 22 Feb 2012, 22:06; edited 1 time in total

Adding to this search thread, both pfind and search monkey could really do with a Select All function.

I uninstalled Ardour.pet recently, and it was not a clean uninstall, leaving loads of stuff in user lib, share and other places.
Pfind found where they were all living, but I had to delete the files one by one!
A simple ctrl A function would have saved a lot of time.
